-**Note - v3.0 Complete rewrite is underway as of June 2022 with the following features:**
- - Rebuilt from scratch in .NET 6 using WPF
- - Smoother, simplified UI
- - Removed dependency on `compact.exe` and directly accesses the Win32 API
- - Background monitoring of compressed folders to keep track of size changes with e.g. Steam updates. 
- - Parallelised and asynchronous programming resulting in over an order of magnitude speed improvement in some cases.

 ## Background
 
-Windows 10 includes a little-known but very useful tool called Compact.exe that allows one to compress folders and files on disk, decompressing them at runtime. With any modern CPU (I have tested as old as an i3-370M from 2010 with negligible impact), this added load is hardly noticed, and the space savings are of most use on those with smaller SSDs.

 As program folders and games can be shrunk by up to 60%, this has the added bonus of potentially reducing load times - especially on slower HDDs.
